Construction Mastic in Aberdeenshire

Construction mastic in Aberdeenshire: how it works

Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. The enquiries we see most involve new external sealant already peeling away and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters.

On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released.

1. First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
2. A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
3. Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
4. We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
6. The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Maintenance after handover

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

• Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
• Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
• Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
• Use the product the specification names

Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.

One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.

What sets the cost

To price the job, we consider:

• Quantities, in metres or numbers
• Distance, for remote addresses
• Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
• Phasing around occupants

The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Details that help us quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:

• Any dates the work must fit around
• A wide shot and a close-up of the area
• The product your specification calls for
• What the building is and how it’s used

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
